# **PROMETHEUM EMBER ATS, INC. NOTES TO THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION DECEMBER 31, 2025**
#### NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Prometheum Ember ATS, Inc. ("PEATS" or the "Company") is a broker-dealer registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"). PEATS was formed as a New York State Corporation on February 27, 2018. PEATS was admitted as a member of FINRA on July 16, 2021. PEATS only activity from inception to admittance by FINRA was to prepare for FINRA membership and develop its business.
PEATS business activity will consist of operating an alternative trading system ("ATS") that specializes in matching orders of buyers and sellers in digital asset securities. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prometheum, Inc. ("Parent"). The Parent was formed for the purpose of developing a fully integrated blockchain-enabled ecosystem for the trading, clearing, settlement and custody of digital asset securities ("DAS").
### NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY AND RELATED PARTY SUPPORT
The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company relies on commitments from its Parent to meet liquidity needs not covered by operating cash flows.
#### NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
# Basis of Presentation
The Company's statement of financial condition has been prepared on the accrual basis in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") as set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The following paragraphs describe our significant accounting policies. These include any changes to our accounting policies required under US GAAP, which became effective January 1, 2025.
## Use of Estimates
The Company prepares its statement of financial condition in conformity with U.S. GAAP. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial condition. Management bases its estimates on certain assumptions which it believes are reasonable in the circumstances and does not believe that any change in those assumptions would have a significant effect on financial position or results of operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
#### Fair Value Measurement
The fair value of highly liquid, short-term assets, including cash, prepaid expenses, payables, and accrued expenses approximates their carrying value given that they are short term in nature, bear interest at current market rates, or are subject to re-pricing, generally on a daily basis.
#### Income Taxes
The Company is included in the consolidated Federal, New York State and New York City tax returns with its Parent. The Company has a loss carryforward of approximately \$10,086,000. At an estimated Federal, New York State, and New York City effective tax rate of 33%, there is a carryforward benefit of approximately \$3,328,462. The Company has reserved 100% against this benefit, as it is uncertain as to when or if it will be realized.
Additionally, the Company has a deferred tax asset of approximately \$246,000 related to the temporary difference arising from non-qualified stock option ("NQSO") expenses. This difference occurs because the Company recognizes compensation expense for financial reporting purposes over the vesting period, while the corresponding tax deduction is only available upon option exercise. The Company has reserved 100% against this benefit, as it is uncertain as to when or if it will be realized. The net change in the total valuation allowance of these benefits during the year is an increase of approximately \$345,000.
{7}------------------------------------------------
# **PROMETHEUM EMBER ATS, INC. NOTES TO THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION DECEMBER 31, 2025**
# NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
#### Income Taxes
The Company recognizes and measures it unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Under that guidance the Company assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change. At December 31, 2025, management has determined that the Company had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition.
#### Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company has defined cash equivalents as highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 90 days that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2025 the Company did not hold any cash equivalents.
#### Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains all its cash with one financial institution, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The accounts at this financial institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) subject to certain limitations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's cash on deposit at this financial institution in excess of federally insured limits of \$250,000 per institution was \$408,804. The Company has not experienced any loss in these accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
# Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, and consist of computer hardware. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line basis and estimated useful service lives of the assets, which is five years.
### Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company accounts for credit losses in accordance with ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments– Credit Losses ("ASC Topic 326"). ASC Topic 326 impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset, recorded at inception or purchase. The Company has the ability to determine there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances. The Company identified accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets which are carried at amortized cost as in scope for consideration under ASC Topic 326. The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments carried at amortized cost, including other assets utilizing the CECL framework. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company's expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. The Company's expectation is that the credit risk associated with other assets is not significant until they are 90 days past due based on the contractual arrangement and expectation of collection in accordance with industry standards. The Company did not record an allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2025.

### NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
#### Segment Reporting
Based on the internal reporting structure and management's evaluation, the Company has determined that it operates within one reportable segment under the criteria of ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. The Company has identified its CEO as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital, which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy. The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Company as a whole.
### NOTE 4 – EXPENSE SHARING AGREEMENT
The Company operates pursuant to an expense sharing agreement ("ESA") entered into with the Parent. Pursuant to that agreement, certain expenditures of the Parent, which benefit the Company, are allocated to the Company, and reflected in the accounts of the Company. Expenditures by the Parent which are recorded in the accounts of the Company pursuant to the ESA are settled by a simultaneous non-cash capital contribution by the Parent. Amounts recorded as non-cash capital contributions for the year ended December 31, 2025 under the ESA were \$2,295,633.
# NOTE 5 – FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets consist of the following as of December 31, 2025:
| Computer hardware | \$7,768 |
|--------------------------------|---------|
| Less: accumulated depreciation | (1,509) |
| Fixed assets, net | \$6,259 |
# NOTE 6 – REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1. This rule requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1 (8 to 1 in the first year) and that equity capital may not be withdrawn if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1. At December 31, 2025, the Company's net capital was \$520,891, which was \$270,891 in excess of its minimum requirement of \$250,000. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio was 0.4 to 1.
The Company has no possession or control obligations under 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3(b) or reserve deposit obligations under 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3(e), as it places reliance on Footnote 74 of the SEC release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5, as its business is limited to acting as an alternative trading system, operating in accordance with the SEC no action letter issued September 25, 2020, "ATS Role in the Settlement of Digital Asset Security Trades".
### NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As discussed in Note 4, the Company has an ESA with the Parent. Additionally, the Company leases office space from an entity associated with members of Prometheum, Inc's Board of Directors and a minority stockholder.
# NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date on which this statement of financial condition was issued. There have been no material subsequent events that occurred through March 17, 2026 that could require adjustment to this statement of financial condition.
